A night of high tension on State Road 131, near Nuraminis: a group of protesters blocked the passage of trucks carrying shovels towards Iglesiente for a long time, while an impressive deployment of police forces tried to restore order.
The picket line was set up around midnight: the transit of the convoy was announced by an order from Anas that blocked traffic during the night hours, precisely to allow the travel of the blades and towers.
A first truck went straight without problems, but when the second one arrived the protesters positioned themselves in the middle of the roadway creating a human shield . One of them was carried away by the carabinieri present on the spot, but the others did not move and remained in front of the tractor.
Negotiations with the military and police began, but the picket was not removed. Numerous insults were also hurled at one of the drivers of the heavy vehicles.
As the night was lit up by flashing lights, hours passed. So many that, with the vehicles stuck in the middle of the highway, the order prohibiting the circulation of all other vehicles expired.
The traffic police officers lit up the area with torches, to try to make traffic safer: fortunately at that time – it was already after 3 – the volume of traffic was minimal. Only around 4 did the protesters let go and the wind towers were able to resume their journey towards the installation area.
